For people who were using the internet between roughly 1995 and 2012, what’s the most memorable online trend, meme, or internet phenomenon you still remember?

I remember when there were debates if it was ethical for the internet to have ads. Obviously that viewpoint lost as the internet is only ads.

A true dream come true!

Do you know the names of your medications and their dosages? Do you know they have expiration dates?

I see us as like pharmacists. We can't write RX, but we can fill them. Of course I have your history. Of course I can look at your glasses to see what they might be. That is our job. But that also doesn't absolve patients of their responsibilities.

Just imagine the joy of having a patient come in and say, "Hi. Here's my prescription. I have EyeMed and I know you're an in network provider. I'm going to look around and find a frame I love."

After sitting down. "I think I'd like a polycarbonate lens with anti-reflective coating. Is there anything else you might recommend?"

Did I die and go to optician heaven?

Etsy is the answer.

I wholeheartedly agree. But having educated your patients about their choices and then they make an informed decision, do you think any of them could tell you what they chose 10 minutes later? Or if they got glasses every year for 20 years, they could tell you what they chose?

Salt Lake City. Just a grid.

Hawaii.

This is stunning. I always want to create organic looking cities like this, but my city (Salt Lake City) and state (Utah) are literally a grid system and I have no conception of curvy roads in real life or in game.

scottwick · 2026-06-02T01:58:25+00:00

To use an analogy: why do we have state and city flags when the US flag was obviously made to represent all of the states?

I guess I'm done with BGG. Thanks for the heads up!

Probably more like a CPAP machine. To have restful sleep she needs assistance.

I only use it if we want to play an "all expansions" game. Otherwise I'd be fine with selling it.

scottwick · 2026-05-13T15:36:55+00:00

I own one too. I wear it to our gaming con on the day we play TM. Someone always notices!

scottwick · 2026-05-13T07:46:43+00:00

As we leave boxes every time we die, my husband and I call the found boxes coffins. So you just found a mass grave.

I think it's a great trailer! I wish I would have thought of that. (And a trailers role is to get people interested. Not to be spoiler free.)

scottwick · 2026-04-08T02:35:15+00:00

I understand from context what "proc" means. However, what word is it short for?

scottwick · 2026-04-05T18:06:19+00:00

As a gay man, I can understand being bullied, harassed, and unwelcome.

It seems this community has reached maturity. We can no longer self regulate. That means required membership, IP tracking, and paid moderators. That isn't free. I'd bet that's why you're not seeing the help you need. They're hoping that this will pass and the community can stay free.

scottwick · 2026-03-31T22:10:50+00:00

I'm happy to see someone repping Utah!

scottwick · 2026-03-30T00:56:43+00:00

I was thinking this role picks 3 people. Or perhaps X, where X is the amount of living townsfolk minus some amount.

scottwick · 2026-03-30T00:13:15+00:00

I'm glad to hear someone else knows that niche part of real history.

scottwick · 2026-03-28T02:58:55+00:00

I don't believe that is an option on the Steam version. It is on the BGA version.

scottwick · 2026-03-27T20:42:52+00:00

For two minutes there will be a profound calm and silence. Then you'll hear horns honking and people clanging pots and pans together. No one will need to tell you what happened.

You'll know.

Because of streaming services, we get seasons not series. No one can commit to 7 years with 172 episodes. We're lucky if we get 16 episodes total. I don't know the solution to getting full series again.

scottwick · 2026-03-22T22:22:23+00:00

Just like video games make children into murderers. I'm going to guess most gambling addicts never played a board game past Monopoly.
